disclaimer: I work for Epic

Paper is drchrono's competition not because they can't go head to head with the major vendors, but because they're likely going after a completely different market. Epic targets the largest healthcare organizations (i.e. Kaiser Permanente) and thus our software is geared towards those specific use cases. EHRs have been in place for many many years in most organizations this size (100+ physicians). I would imagine that drchrono is instead targeting much smaller practices and facilities that still rely heavily on paper. This is a niche offering. Fortunately for them, a niche in healthcare IT is still very big business.
